Morning Group Time On Monday 20.07.2020

During the morning mat time, children listened to a

story called “First Day”. It was an adorable picture

book about first-day nerves, and it asked the children

questions about “Are you ready” “Who is the bravest”

and “What could make you feel nervous?” children lis-

tened attentively. When they successfully made con-

nections between the story and themselves, they

settled down, and looked calm and restful.

Then Miss Sue started their learning journey about

letters (after the story). She reviewed the letter A, B,C,

D and related words for them. For some children, who

learned this before, it was a great opportunity for

them to review. When we asked our children to re-

view something, it helped them to build confidence

because they could do it! We taught them this was a

practice -- just like a sport. Before we learn a new skill,

reviewing has a great value to promote our “I can do

it” spirit :).

For the children who just joined us from last week.

After their settling down, this offered them a chance

to catch up and then to feel more comfortable with

their learning journeys.

After the mat time, children

engaged in playing based

learning experiences spon-

taneously. Some of them

came to Miss Sue, and

joined her with the potato

masher painting. They have

been encouraged to create

a bug of their own.

As we could see from the

photos, some children suc-

cessfully did so. They firstly

painted the main body,

then gradually added the

antennas and wings on

their bugs (some of theirs

looked like bumble bees).

Painting allows children

an educational opportuni-

ty that is fun and exciting.

It aids them to acquire

hand-eye coordination,

an important skill in their

age.

This is developed, for ex-

ample, today when they

learned to paint the parts

that they saw, making

sure their hand move-

ment is at par with their

vision.

Today’s outdoor mission was to rescue the butterflies. Children saw that

there were two beautiful “butterflies” stuck in the “spider web”, then they

looked eager to help those butterflies out. They used tongs to help with the

removing -- and the learning task was about the tools’ manipulating.

It was good to see that when the task seemed hard for some of them, they

persisted till they reached the success. For example, Oliver Kim, stayed with

Miss Sue till the last, he went to join the lunch after he could independently

rescue one butterfly.
